it's president's obama's way of sayi ining vote on his basic proposal. it would extend in employment insurance ben filt fits and deal with unemployment insurance cuts. >> so the question is, could they actually get that many republicans to vote for this package that the president is calling for? >> but politically, what he is doing is essentially saying this is the plan that i'm putting forth. let's get it through the senate and if it fails, it will fail in the republican-led house. essentially having rely cans having owned that failure. >> i didn't hear also about the debt ceiling that the treasury secretary was just saying we need to raise pretty much any day now. is this going to be the next couple of months in terms of this debate? does the white house have a strategy for dealing with both in the next phase? >> well, they're quite clear that there's probably just too much at this point to put that in this initial package, specifically the debt ceiling. that they're saying there's probably no way that they're going to be able to address that right now

so that's automatic a win for president obama. this is a time for reflection. here on capitol hill you have republicans talking about what's next? how do they survive obama's second term in this is the first battle. they want to win the war. they don't want to get totally bruced in this fiscal cliff situation. they're willing to buckle a little bit on rates right now but ultimately when they talk about the debt ceiling, they think they can some other things they can attack 37. >> sam, is the obama white house this good? is this divide and conquer? >> well, first of all, no, they're not that good. and, you know, it's ironic because had boehner taken that last offer that obama gave him, one that would have changed the benefit structure for social security, it would have ended up fracturing the democratic base in some respects. a lot of progressives were upset the white house was even going there. they thought he didn't need to make that concession. a lot of this is the house republicans' own fault they're in in corner. they could have taken a deal, could have tak

president obama comes back tomorrow and the senate comes back late tomorrow, and then we'll see if they can get their act together and get it done. >> what do you think the stop-gap would look like, john? what kind of elements need to be addressed immediately? >> there are four really. one would be an extension of all the bush tax cuts under $250,000 in income for some period of time, probably temporary. the second is a stop-gap measure turning off the sequester for some short period of time. it may have a certain amount of spending cuts in there to in effect pay down what would have been taken indiscriminately across the board. in addition to that you would have the doc fix for medicare to prevent doctors reimbursement from falling precipitously in that program and a temporary extension of unemployment benefits. that's the mini deal we're looking at. the question is whether republicans will cooperate with democrats to do that in the senate and if house speaker john boehner would put that on the floor even if most republicans were not in favor of it. bill? >> okay. we're going to hope t
